Yashar Mammadov

With blinds at 200/400, a pre-flop pot reached 18,400 built by Farhad Aghayev on the small blind, Hoseong Ha on the big blind and Yashar Mammadov on the cutoff.

The three players were shown a flop of 9 2 4 .

Aghayev checked his option. Ha then fired 7,000.

Mammadov raised it to 17,500.

Aghayev stood down, but Ha stayed on to open a 3 on the turn.

Ha checked. Mammadov fired 30,000. Ha raised all in and Mammadov snapped.

When the cards were revealed:

Yashar Mammadov: 4 4

Hoseong Ha: A 5

Mammadov had a set but Ha had a straight. Mammadov hoped to pair the board on the river for a full house, but it bricked a 7 instead.

When the chips were counted, Mammadov was covered, sending him to the rail as the first casualty.

Meanwhile, Ha jumps up immediately as the chip leader. Ha was a recent winner of the Single Day High Roller in this series and looks like he's headed in the right direction for a shot at the title in this event.
